Feds warn colleges: Handle sexual assault reports properly
Article here. Such an arrogant comment by the American Association Of University Women. Taking away a man's rights is looked upon as some kind of victory. In a way they're right. The new sheriff is man-hater Joe Biden, the same man behind the unconstitutional VAWA and an advocate for reducing men's sports teams (Title IX). Excerpt:
'"In many ways, there is a new sheriff in town," says Lisa Maatz, director of public policy at the American Association of University Women in Washington.
But some academic-freedom advocates say the sheriff has gone too far. In particular, they're concerned that the standard of proof the Obama administration is urging will wrongly take down some of the accused.
US officials want "to sort of shortcut the process of justice by making it easier to convict," says Robert Shibley, senior vice president of the Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).

Shibley cites the case of a University of North Dakota student who was found guilty of sexual assault in a campus procedure using the preponderance standard. The university suspended him. Meanwhile, the police had decided to charge his accuser with filing a false claim, and she left to dodge the arrest warrant, Shibley says.'
